    There are conservative sects of Judaism that recruit, mostly from other Jewish groups. So, yes. In NYC they will annoyingly bother you on the street with “Hey, are you Jewish?” Even if you are, say “no”.

      Annoying for sure but I still see that as significantly different from what OP was describing

        Neither Jews, Christians nor Muslims are a monolith. While the majority of these groups are fine(or at least the visible parts that are willing to coexist, selection bias!), the poorly behaved ones all have the same characteristics. These parts are always the most conservative, fundamentalists ones.

          You might as well add any organized religion or sufficiently large group at that point. Statements such as yours do little except enable the erasure of Jewish identity, good job you’re doing the Christians work for them.
